The only anthology of poems written by men with histories of childhood sexual abuse. These poems express experiences and emotions with a directness and immediacy that is often not possible in conversation or other forms of writing. In this way, the poems can be very helpful for men going through similar experiences, and anyone who wants to understand them.

Your Feedback Matters

We offer several resources, including guidance about how to select an appropriate
therapist or consultant, in Get Help and through the
Online SupportLine, which we hope
will be useful to you in finding effective treatment, getting personalized recommendations
for services or to discuss personal issues.

Because 1in6 does not provide direct service to individuals, we are unable to offer
that kind of exchange through our feedback response below.
